A Sense of Place – Selections from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection
Curated by Patricia Hanna and Anelys Alvarez
December 3-6, 2015
Mana Contemporary
Miami, FL, USA
Despite the fact that these artists are working in a globalized society, where technology and communication transcend physical boundaries, many continue to construct personal and cultural identities by exploring ideas that are specific to their own experiences and places of origin. The show will examine the idea of building such an identity; how artists use abstraction, architecture, politics and memory to carve out a sense of place; and how these concerns are reflected in Pérez as a collector and in Miami as a developing city. Artists in the show include a mix of well-known and emerging art stars from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, including: Omar Barquet, José Bedia, Jorge Méndez Blake, Carlos Cárdenas, Los Carpinteros, Enrique Martínez Celaya, Eugenio Dittborn, Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Carlos Garaicoa, Guillermo Kuitca, Gilda Mantilla, Moris, Vik Muniz, Oscar Muñoz, Damián Ortega, Liliana Porter, Sandra Ramos, Pablo Rasgado, Camilo Restrepo, Graciela Sacco, Ana Tiscornia, José A. Vincench, Ishmael Randall Weeks, and many others.
Jorge M. Pérez was named one of the most influential Hispanics in the U.S. by TIME magazine, and is considered a visionary for his contributions to South Florida’s cultural and artistic landscape, as well as his integration of world-class art into each of his real estate developments.
A Sense of Place is being held at Mana Wynwood Convention Center, 318 NW 23rd Street, Miami, Florida.
December 3, 2015 Ana Tiscornia: Des-habitaciones https://abstractioninaction.com/happenings/ana-tiscornia-des-habitaciones/
Artist: Ana Tiscornia
Des-habitaciones
November 5, 2015
Galería del Paseo
Miraflores, Peru
Los trabajos que hacen parte de Des-habitaciones son pinturas, ensamblajes, y objetos, creados a partir de una preocupación recurrente en mi trabajo de los últimos años, la de encontrar un lugar conceptual y poético que albergue aquello que resulta de cualquier desplazamiento ya sea físico o de sentido.
Estas construcciones y re-disposiciones de objetos y materiales, en general surgen de una relación paradojal entre la arquitectura -un lugar por excelencia vinculado al acto constructivo- y la destrucción, o la dislocación. Al reordenar los materiales, creando nuevas situaciones busco un potencial poético -una especie de cartografía del olvido- que al mismo tiempo exponga y recobre fragmentos disperos de un proyecto utópico. Aunque mis trabajos suelen ser disparados por circunstancias políticas y catastróficas sociales, no corresponden a ningún incidente específico, sino que miran a una situación global compartida.
Artists: Marcelo Grosman, Sofía Bohtlingk y Alfredo Londaibere, Amadeo Azar, Julián Terán, Guido Ignatti, Silva Gurfein, Lux Lindner, Nicolás Gullotta, Ana Tiscornia and Tiziana Pierri.

Nora Fisch Arte Contemporáneo

Group show, selected artists from gallery.
May 19, 2015 Ana Tiscornia https://abstractioninaction.com/artists/ana-tiscornia/My visual rearrangements draw upon the paradoxical bond between architecture –a language of construction par excellence-with that of destruction and dislocation. In rearranging various materials I seek a potential poetics – a kind of cartography of social oblivion –that is simultaneously exposing but also recovering scattered fragments of an unrealized utopian project.
Traducido del inglés
Mis composiciones visuales recurren a la paradójica unión entre la arquitectura (un lenguaje de construcción por excelencia) con la destrucción y la dislocación. Al reconfigurar estos diferentes materiales busco una potencial poética, una especie de cartografía del olvido, que simultáneamente revela y también recobra fragmentos desperdigados de un proyecto utópico frustrado.
